Our 60th Anniversary – 2018
In June of 1954, members of Evergreen Lutheran Church gathered for the first time in the home of Iving and Gertie Antweiler on Blue Creek, to offer God thanks and praise and to eventually establish a congregation in Evergreen. They longed for a church that would bless them, the community, serve those in need, and give God glory. They envisaged that one day, this church would thrive and become a Spirit-filled force in the foothills of Colorado. Ground was broken for the new church on October 27, 1957. The cornerstone laying ceremony took place on November 16, 1958 and the first worship service at the new site was conducted in the basement on December 7, 1958. The dedication ceremony and installation of the Rev. Frederick H. Worthman occurred on January 4, 1959.

Our forbearers imagined a place where they would be nourished on the Word and would become a beautiful expression of the body of Christ. They dreamed of a church that would impact not only the mountain communities of Evergreen, Conifer, Morrison, Bailey, Pine, Pine Junction, Floyd Hill, and Genesee, but also Golden, Lakewood, and Littleton. This year, 2018, we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the unique and special creation of Christ’s church known as Evergreen Lutheran Church, a church of the ELCA and a member of the Rocky Mountain Synod.
